I have had low vitamin D and high PTH for 3-4 years. I was supplementing 5000 vegan D drops made from seaweed bs lanolin( wool allergy) my level keeps dropping. My endo RX 50,000 units, one pill per week in May, but after two pills I developed a severe reflux reaction and I stopped all vit D until my next blood work. I’m getting my next blood work 2 months late next week and I will see what has happened to vit D levels. I may have primary hyperparathyroidism because I was and may still be excreting a lot of calcium in urine.
I would say be cautious with high dose tx vit D, especially the 50,000 dose one pill per week or even higher doses.
If you have yeast infections check your blood glucose levels if you haven’t.
Thanks meowee. i will be cautious with this. my glucose is right in the middle of the reference range, so that is good. my PTH was last checked back in January, it was good then. at that time my Vitamin D was within normal range.
i will have to get PTH checked again given the drop in Vitamin D.Yw 😊 That is good, hopefully you are prolly ok. Most people who get tested for low D don’t have pth done as well, I’m not sure but I think when D is low pth is always elevated. When you say your glucose is middle range do you mean A1c or fasting bg? Fasting should be 80-90. A1c should be 4-5 for normal levels. You can buy your own meter cheaply and monitor it yourself.
